Hey @waterboymonrovia,
You can link your personal account but exclude unrelated transactions by using the "exclude" feature in QuickBooks. After linking, review each transaction and exclude personal ones, so only business-related expenses impact your financial reports.
Finally, record a journal entry for an owner's investment to move all selected business transactions out of the personal checking account, leaving a zero balance in that account on the balance sheet. This way, your financial statements remain accurate and clean.

Since you don't want to do this manually, you might consider following Kabel's recommendations. This process will ensure you can link your personal bank account without impacting your financial report.
To connect your bank, here's how you can do it:
Please refer to this article for more information: Connect bank and credit card accounts.
